HIV testing advice
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if I should get tested again.
I'm a heterosexual male and had protected sex with a condom on February 10th of this past year and had an HIV blood test done on May 2nd. I know the 3 months is recommended, but I'm literally a week and a few days off the official "window period" date. As this encounter was protected, the condom didn't break and I was tested, should I bother with retesting?
Thanks.

Protected sex is what the word says. Protected. Please try to control your anxiety. You are safe . :)
